My mom used to feed her most of the times by giving her milk or chicken or fish. She was my mom’s favorite and my mom and her always had a connection, they could talk to each other and understand each other, whenever she used to feel hungry she used to go to my mom and speak up “mau” and my mom would then know that she was hungry, and that’s how we gave her the name “mau”, from her childhood she had stayed with the humans so my mom said that she couldn’t speak up the human language but could understand what we said and replied in her own way. She was white in colour and sometimes used to look like a rabbit, cats don’t like to take a bath but we used to bathe her on every alternate days to keep her fresh and clean. She was the kinda pet with whom everyone in my family fell in love with. She liked to wait by sitting next to us while we were having our food and then come after us because she knew that we had saved the chicken or fish pieces from our lunch for her. Everyone in my family liked her, even my mom who didn’t liked cats earlier, started loving mau. There were times when she had stuck a fish bone in her gum as she small and had less idea on how to chew and eat the fish and later we had to pull the bone out her mouth and in that duration, she used to sit quietly and let us do our job. We clicked and saved pics with mau on certain festive occasions. She became the key to my heart where only happiness stayed. Even if I had a bad and rough day but even the thought of her or by just looking at her after returning home made me feel happy. It felt as if she was my pain-taker who took my pain away by her love. Even if it was a day full of tiredness and frustration, but even the sight of her made my pain go away. There was one day when she didn’t return home till late night and we went out to search for her, it had become dark and she had forgotten her way home but the funny things was, whenever she heard my mumma’s voice calling for her, she would just leave everything and run towards mumma, so finally she heard my mumma’s voice and started running back to where the voice came from, but it was dark and while running she slipped and fell into a well, since I was nearby I asked the people for a bucket to pull her out, she started to cry from inside but finally I did my job by saving her life by pulling her up in a bucket. And this was perhaps the first time I had saved her from dying.
Hey Mau, you left me alone, left me alone in my sorrows and pain, there are no other pets like you, none that can relieve me from the daily pain. Why did you had to be so close to me? So close to me that I can’t breathe without you. I had this fear that I would lose you someday, didn’t knew that the day was so near. God, this is unfair, why did you had to take away Mau from me? Why her? She was the most understandable pet, the most intelligent and the wisest of all. She was my sweetheart and you took her away from me. People ask me to let it go and say that maybe it was God’s wish, and maybe it was for something good. But tell me, how can God’s wish be to kill someone so innocent so painfully. People say that it was just a cat, she died, so pet a new one, the new one would be the same as the old. But, they don’t understand that (Mau), you are irreplaceable. None can replace you, none can take your place. They don’t understand that love isn’t something t...
